Bad driver assistance systems are just as frustrating for passengers
So it was interesting to be removed from the role of ADAS victim. A bit like the loved one who gets bullied by their boss but can't quite see it and muddles through, only when you witness somebody else getting harried by these systems can you appreciate just how overwhelming it is. They go off constantly, chip, chip, chipping away. I will say this, though: while they're all subject to the same regulations and are all to an extent very annoying, these systems do work in subtly different ways, and that is starting to matter. By MIRA, the two of us had reached the conclusion that we're not far from ADAS behaviour being a part of the brand-loyalty equation. Performance, design, practicality and price are all big decision-influencing areas when it comes to car buying, but none of them are going to matter if the thing drives you up the wall every time you want to pop down to the shops. Two things particularly matter: the manner of the intervention (everything from the timbre of the bong to the pick-up of steering auto action) and how simple the systems are to disable. Some manufacturers do get it. They tend to be the ones that have traditionally put the driver first. BMW, for example, has a superbly gentle lane keeping action and lets you curtail the speed limit warning with one push on the wheel (seriously, who can stand bings going off at 52mph in a 50mph zone when, as every road tester can confirm, you're really doing only 49.5mph?). And with the launch of the Vantage Roadster, Aston Martin has introduced a physical ADAS shortcut button, right next to the exhaust and damping switches. To them, it's that important. On the other side of the equation there is Toyota. God I love Toyota, from Yaris to Land Cruiser, but its current, faintly paranoid ADAS are just infuriating. There's even an alert to tell you when another car is wafting up behind you. Gratuitous or what? Would I like to take a break, as it suggests, 12 minutes into my trip? No, but I might like to steer off that cliff. The 'off' switches are also buried in fiddly menus and you can't access them on the move. Not sure I'd buy one.

Lewis Hamilton's frank response to Christian Horner's departure
Lewis Hamilton has paid tribute to Christian Horner following his departure as Red Bull team principal a fortnight ago. Horner, 51, was in charge of Red Bull for 20 years, during which the team secured 14 world championships. Hamilton, now at Ferrari, described Horner's work at Red Bull as 'remarkable' and acknowledged his skill in running such a large organisation. He recalled an initial meeting with Horner in 2005 when Hamilton was looking to enter GP2, noting they didn't 'hit it off from the get-go'. Hamilton wished Horner all the best, despite their long-standing rivalry on the Formula 1 circuit.

Christian Horner exit doesn't affect my Red Bull future
Max Verstappen says Christian Horner's sudden dismissal does not guarantee his future at Red Bull. Horner will not be at a Formula One race for the first time in two decades for this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix after he was 'released' as team principal and CEO 16 days ago. Advertisement His departure came 17 months after he was accused by a female staff member of 'inappropriate behaviour'. The 51-year-old, who oversaw 14 world championships, always denied the claims and was twice exonerated. Christian Horner left his role as Red Bull team principal earlier this month (David Davies/PA) The allegations coincided with a slump in Red Bull's form, with Verstappen taking just four victories from his last 26 appearances. He is 69 points off the championship pace at the midway stage of the season. Verstappen's father Jos claimed back in March of last year that Red Bull would 'explode' if Horner was not moved on, and it had been speculated that Horner's dismissal was a power play by the Verstappen camp. But when asked if Horner's exit will affect whether he stays beyond this season, Verstappen said: 'No, it doesn't really. Advertisement 'People can have a difference of opinion, and I actually expect that to happen because if everyone always agrees, there is a problem. 'We work in a different direction, I'm excited about it, but I don't think it will matter at all for my decision in the future. The last one and a half years have not been what we want to be. Now we will try and be more competitive.' Verstappen, 27, has a contract with Red Bull until 2028, although a performance-related clause could activate an early release. Mercedes are known to be admirers and Toto Wolff and Verstappen were recently in Sardinia. However, both parties have dismissed their respective holidays as a coincidence. Jos Verstappen said Red Bull would 'explode' if Christian Horner stayed at Red Bull (Bradley Collyer/PA) Pressed as to whether there is a possibility he will not drive for Red Bull beyond this year, four-time world champion Verstappen replied: 'There is also a possibility I don't wake up tomorrow. So then there is no driving at all. Life is unpredictable. Advertisement 'But I'm very happy where I'm at. The target we set out when we signed the new deal was that I would drive here until the end of my career.' Verstappen revealed he has been in touch with Horner but said 'time will tell' whether his sudden departure is the right decision. The F1 team's parent company, Red Bull GmbH, did not specify a reason behind Horner's exit. Verstappen continued: 'Management and the shareholders decided that they wanted a change. They run the team. And I'm the driver, so whatever they decide, it's fully in their right to do what they want. 'You look back at those 20 years of Red Bull and we've had a lot of great years and great results. Management decided they wanted to steer the ship in a different direction. Advertisement 'Looking back doesn't make sense. It's not going to make you faster. But at the same time, we do appreciate and remember those 20 years. And the relationship between myself and Christian doesn't change. Of course, he's not here now during a race weekend. But it's still like a second family to me.' Lewis Hamilton spoke to the media ahead of Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix (Bradley Collyer/PA) Lewis Hamilton will contest his 369th race on Sunday, but the first of his long career without rival Horner, whose shoes will be filled by Frenchman Laurent Mekies, on the Red Bull pit wall. 'I was neither surprised nor unsurprised,' said Hamilton. 'It doesn't change anything in my life. 'I sat with Christian in his office back in 2005, and I was in Formula Three and looking to go into GP2. He was with Arden. Advertisement 'I wouldn't say we hit it off from the get-go but to see his progression and his career, it was clearly remarkable what he did with the team with a huge group of amazing people. 'To run an organisation that big and that well takes talent and skill and that is what he brought to the team. I wish him all the best.'
